    From the station, you will head directly to the vibrant Morning Market, where you’ll begin your culinary adventure by sampling some local treats. Bustling with activity, the market also offers a variety of local produce and handmade goods.

    15 minutes

  • Sanmachi Suji

    After enjoying the market, you will stroll through the picturesque streets of Takayama’s Old Town. This area is famous for its well-preserved Edo-period architecture, with narrow lanes lined by traditional wooden buildings, merchant houses, and sake breweries. As you explore, your guide will share fascinating stories and insights about the local history and culture, bringing to life the town’s rich heritage and centuries-old traditions. In Takayama’s Old Town, you will have the opportunity to try some of its renowned and delightful street food. You’ll taste a selection of local favorites, including the locally famed Wagyu Beef in the form of Hida Beef Stick, Bun, and Sushi.

    At around 11:45 AM, you will take a break for lunch at a popular local restaurant, where you’ll savor a bowl of Takayama Ramen. This iconic dish is a staple of the region and a must-try for any visitor. Takayama Ramen features thin, curly noodles served in a soy sauce-based broth that is both savory and slightly sweet. The soup is often infused with chicken or pork, creating a rich and flavorful experience. Topped with slices of tender chashu (roast) pork, green onions, and bamboo shoots, each bowl is a harmonious blend of taste and tradition.

The exhibits offer a detailed look at everyday life during this period, featuring a wide range of displays from household items and school supplies to vintage toys and cultural memorabilia. You’ll see meticulously recreated scenes of old Japanese living rooms, kitchens, and shops, providing a nostalgic glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the era’s lifestyle and culture.
